Charleston Travel Tips

  • Go running on Magic Island, a public park that sits in town at the confluence of the Kanawha and Elk rivers. But don't get your hopes up for the 100-by-225-foot "beach" at the tip.
  • Climb and hike in the New River Gorge National River area. One day each October, BASE jumping is legal off the 876-foot-tall New River Gorge Bridge.
  • Hark back to the early days of radio with a show at Mountain Stage, a public broadcast radio variety show with a "Prairie Home Companion" feel. Performances from live musicians are interspersed with live interviews and skits from host Larry Groce.
  • Camp overnight on the Gauley or New rivers with any number of local outfitters before you run the rapids down these two big white-water classics. Day tours are also available.
